How we are notified of a school closure

It is the responsiblilty of the Headteacher and Chair of Governors for deciding to close a school. The school will then let the County Council - and their local radio station - know it will be closed. It will also update its own website, if possible.

Please note:

  • We request schools to notify us when they are closed. If your child’s school isn’t listed please check directly with the school.

  • As soon as a school tells us it will be closed – which is not usually until the day it is closed during emergencies - we add the information to the school closures list immediately.

  • This information may not say when a school will reopen unless the school has provided this information.
